Peter Bourjos (hamstring) will be placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Bourjos strained his left hamstring Monday while legging out a sacrifice bunt in the 11th inning. It's too bad, as Bourjos has thrived since taking over the leadoff spot. Erick Aybar (heel) will be activated from the disabled list Tuesday in a corresponding roster move.

Peter Bourjos left Monday's game in the 11th inning with an apparent left hamstring injury.
The Angels have little outfield depth after trading Vernon Wells. They can play J.B. Shuck in center or left, but their best offensive lineup would have Mark Trumbo in left and Hank Conger at DH. Bill Hall could be a candidate for a callup if Bourjos lands on the DL.

Peter Bourjos went 3-for-4 with a three-run triple and a run scored in Friday's win over the Tigers.
Bourjos had three hits combined over his previous six games, so this was nice to see. The 26-year-old is not a good fit for the leadoff spot with Erick Aybar (heel) sidelined, but he has enough pop and speed to be interesting in deeper mixed leagues.

Peter Bourjos had a pair of hits, including his second spring home run, in a losing effort against the Mariners on Friday afternoon.
Bourjos finished the contest 2-for-3. He enters the season as the Angels everyday starter in center field, and has come out of the gate strong this spring, hitting .364 (12-for-33) with two homers, nine RBI and a steal through 12 games. He possesses a dynamic combination of power and speed that makes him a very attractive target in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.

Peter Bourjos launched his first Cactus League homer and added a single in Wednesday's loss to the Padres.
The two-run shot came off of left-hander Clayton Richard. Bourjos is now batting .333 with a homer, three triples and eight RBI this spring. He's only a career .247/.301/.402 hitter but offers an intriguing mix of power and speed that makes him a late-round option in fantasy leagues.

Peter Bourjos knocked in three runs with a bases-loaded triple in Friday's 16-8 win over the Dodgers.
It was part of a seven-run third inning for the Angels. After spending last season as a reserve outfielder, Bourjos is expected to serve as the club's starting center fielder in 2013. His batting average is unlikely to be a strength, but his power-speed combo should prove useful in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.
